senegal parrot

Hello, Earlier today my parrot ran into a wall and when I when to pick him up I noticed a bit of the skin around his nostril had been peeled back. It didn't look really bad at first and I choose let it go and just keep watching him in case something happened. When I came back to check on him a...

Around 3-4 years ago I had gotten my hormonal, plucky senegal, Pippy, the hormone implant. She had just reached sexual maturity, which she seemed a bit early for (she is 9 in a month, she was around 5 when implanted). At the time, it was explained to us as a medication for ferrets, but recently...

Hi all, I have a bird-shaped hole in my heart! I enjoyed having two birds, I have a vacant cage, my strata allows for up to 2 birds, and my rescue has birds that need homes. So I'm going to adopt another bird in the near future! Out of the birds my local rescue has, a few have caught my...

Hello, I made a mistake of leaving my senegal parrot unattended for a few minutes and didn't try to hide phone charger, which he started to chew while I was gone. My concern is mainly the possibility of him eating some of the thin wires under plastic. I tried to search for answers and found one...

Hi friends,:gcc: I'm trying to determine what's going on with my 8-year old senegal. I first became concerned because he kept flying into my bed frame last month, and I was worried he was going to get hurt. Last week, I started to get worried because I noticed he was falling off his perch at...

Hi there! I have three Senegals, all adopted. One of them came to me about 6 months ago and he’s always had watery and stinky poops. I’ve taken him to the avian vet and he’s checked out fine. They also gave us antibiotics and for about a week of antibiotics his poops did not smell but were still...

I just got a Senegal parret from a pet store and I wanted to look up his tag but it's really different than anyone that I have seen. I have tried to look it up and I'm not finding anything on him wondering if anyone can help me with this..his band only says JE E 743

I'm thinking of getting my Senegal a couple of foraging toys for in and out of his cage. Was wondering if the plastic/metal ones are safe if left in his cage, or should I only put one on his stand where I can watch him with it? Have a few wood/grass ones that are ment to be destroyed also in...

So this Senegal is not mine. I am babysitting him for the next two weeks and I need to ask some questions. I’m used to conures not Sennies, so I’m used to a little attitude but this Sennie bites me when I go to put him back in the cage, not that hard just a minor warning bite, he is missing part...

Hey, I am new to this forum. I am not really sure how everything works on here but I’ll give it my best shot. I have recently decided on getting a Senegal. He is currently being Handfed and will be ready for me in May. I have been planning every aspect I could imagine for bringing this bird...

I recently got a Senegal. 6 years, male, very friendly. He has started making squeaky sounds. Very cute, just wondering what it means.

But first love!

Hello, I've recently began to share my room with I suspect an 8 months old senegal parrot. He's been with me for a month now. We've overcome the biting problem, he eats from my hand, he let's me pet his head even though staying alert all the time, however he still growls at me especially in the...

So my mum has been talking whistfully about how she's always liked senegals, and since she actually has the time for a parrot now, I have a feeling she's going to get one. I'll be moving out at some stage in the next year and a half, so I don't really get much of a say, obviously, but as I will...

Hello all, I am not new to parrots, but it has been quite a while since I have had one. I used to have a beautiful Eclectus, but due to a move overseas, I was unable to keep him. We also fostered a military macaw for a while when I was a child, and I had a couple parakeets as a child. While...

Hi- Was over in the cockatoo thread earlier but to recap- I will be getting a new bird in the next few months and really want one that can bond with me- I was considering a macaw or cockatoo but they both have very stringent care requirements, and cockatoos even with the proper care are still...

So sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having trouble locating specific information on this. I'm a husbandry assistant and I prepare diets for a lot of birds at work. I'm given a diet board that I follow, so every day I weigh out a specific amount of pellets and a specific amount of...

Hi everybody! I currently own a DNA sexed female Senegal Parrot who is about a year old. I've had her since June and I'm having somewhat of a little problem with her right now. She is generally very good. No issues aside from the occasional nip when she's telling me that she doesn't like...

Hello Everyone, My name is Kayla and I have been reading the forum for a couple months now and just decided to join. I am not one to post much on the internet, so this is new for me. Anyways... I have a 9 yr old Senegal parrot name Morocco. I have never had him DNA sexed, but i refer to him...

hI this looked like a good place to get some additional parrot info! My senegal kiwi is the most important thing to me! But I can't find a senegal smilie so I'll use this one:greenyellow:
